Houston, TX Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Houston, TX weather or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to basically bring fabric and ink together as one. Initially in Houston, TX, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks coalesce with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The heat exposes the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Houston, TX, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, thorny ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There’s nothing worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Houston, TX summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s humiliating, especially seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your Houston, TX squad, not to mention your easily-seen, dedicated fan(s), deserve far better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Houston, TX Baseball Uniforms: A Brief History

Oh, how far baseball uniforms have come. When they first began, back in 1849, baseball uniforms were made of wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. Seems ideal for one of those Houston, TX hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for instance, donned the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which team they were on. This idea didn’t quite take off brilliantly, lasting only a season before being referred to as clown costumes and being tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for the digits to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, and were not required until 1971. Wool caps and uniforms, or at the very least wool blends, were used until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the decree of unique owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
